Magnetic Flux
Lets say you have a wire loop, of area A, that is
immersed in a uniform magnetic field, B.
The magnetic flux will be defined as:
B = B A = BAcos

From now on we will be dealing with more and
more complicated circuits.
We can use many techniques to help us to find
out many useful things about the circuit such
as the power dissipated by

LRC Circuit
We can combine the
resistor, the inductor, and
the capacitor into a
series circuit known as
the LRC circuit.
The current in the circuit
is the same throughout

Questions:
1. Moving a magnet near a solenoid changes the magnetic field through the solenoid,
causing a change in flux, which is dependent on the magnetic field and solenoid cross
sectional area. A

Questions:
1. The falling magnet is a moving magnetic field which creates flux. This flux is opposed by
a small current, causing the magnet to fall very slowly and appear to levitate in the tub
